TOPIC:  THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN MINISTRY.  THURSDAY AUGUST 10
TEXT: Luke 8:1-3)          
KEY VERSE:  And she said, “I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.” Judges 4:9.

There are many traditions, confusions and doctrines in many churches that have restricted the woman’s participation in spiritual activities to the point that the woman sits down doing little or nothing at all in the church. The ones that are zealous and love to do something are afraid whether they are sinning, going against the will of God or not.

Genesis 2:18  “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”

God knew that it is not good that the man He has created should be alone. To match up with him, God provided him a helper that will help him in order to achieve His purpose for creating man, whether those things are secular or spiritual: a helper should be with him to achieve these things. So the place of a woman is seen in whatever the man does from the beginning. As it was in creation so it is in re-creation. As it is in the natural so it is in the spiritual. The woman goes along with the man in all spheres of life to perform along with him that which God has commissioned him to do.

Contrary to the misinterpretation of Paul’s writing in 1 Corinthians 14:34 that women should keep silence in the church, fuller examination of scripture actually reveals the Lord’s instruction concerning the active role of woman in the Christian ministry. In this regard, we can see in both the Old and New Testaments that women played prominent roles in the gathering of believers. A few examples will suffice:

1.       Miriam the Sister of Moses (Exodus 15:20, 21).   Miriam had a prominent ministry. Mariam was a prophetess, a musician and a leader. Both men and women enjoyed her ministry. 
2.       Deborah the Judge (Judges 4: 1- 9). Israel had gone into idolatry which brought them under the slavery of an oppressive heathen king. Even when the Lord wanted to give Israel deliverance,  none of the men were courageous enough to lead the people of God to victory. The men requested for and submitted to the ministry of Deborah.
3.       Women Among Christ’s Disciples (Luke 8:1-3). There were women among the disciples of Jesus that served the Lord according to the grace given to them. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna and many others.
As Jesus ministered in places near to them or in the community, they would avail themselves to render service to Him and His disciples. This is called the Ministry of Help. Women can always render services as the Lord gives them grace.

Thought for the day: Woman, rise up and serve God in humility, submission and holiness. 
Song for the day:   It is a great thing to serve the Lord
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 88-89; Romans 10

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit. When My Spirit enters, if you obey My word, My Spirit will follow you to do My work. People will listen to you and follow you. They are My chosen.

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
